uuCleaning uExterior Care
Maintenance
• Keep sufficient distance between the cleaning nozzle and the vehicle body.
• Take particular care around the windows. Standing too close may cause water to
enter the vehicle interior.
• Do not spray high pressure water direct ly into the motor compartment. Instead,
use low pressure water.
• Do not spray water under the hood where the electric motor and other high
voltage system components are located. It could cause a malfunction.
• Do not spray water directly at the charging port.
A good coat of automotive body wax helps protect your vehicle’s paint from the
elements. Wax will wear off over time and expose your vehicle’s paint to the
elements, so reapply as necessary.
If you get coolant or battery fluid on resin coated parts, they may be stained or the
coating may peel. Promptly wipe it away using a soft cloth and clean water.
Wipe using a glass cleaner.
